A 35-year-old man has been charged, following three armed robberies in Newcastle, over the past few months.
The accused is facing a string of offences in relation to armed robberies at a Post Office at Broadmeadow on October 1, a Newcastle pizza shop in November and a Post Office in Adamstown last week.
Information from the public led to his arrest at Kotara on Friday.
Detectives also searched a home on Kent Street at Hamilton and allegedly found a shortened firearm and ammunition.
